Those who loved books more than the average is called an “addicted reader”.

Couldn’t stay away from books for more than twelve hours, or, toward a certain literary type, or a namely author, becoming an avid reader.

Super fans? Book junkie? No! Fans would chase after the star, and go to where the star is, those addicted to words cashed after the words, with a total disregard of the writers.

Would the person BE the “ideal reader” in the author’s mind? Not necessarily, because you don’t know which tool he’d used, to get to the depth of your emotions.

(I’d met one of my avid readers who’d chased after the morality of my writings, that just won’t let it go, kept prodding me, and, other than apologizing, retreating, keeping myself out of sight, I was at my wits end. Apparently, my “bad thought” had offended her morality, her values.)

But, whether it be good OR evil, this group of readers, is the main power, in keeping the industry going.

Whether it be the thirst for blood, or the thirst for evil, it’s all about the readers.

Are there any other living creatures, as addicted as that?

Hehe! The ones addicted to drugs, and the ones, addicted reading.

The first couldn’t get past the physical dependencies, the second, tied up and kept bound by the ropes of filial relations.

(Our reader, they couldn’t get the frequencies of the moving natures of the books).

Addiction, is the nature, you, and I have it too, it’s just that we’re too busy, we kept the doors and windows in our hearts, locked up too tightly, not knowing when, we will have our relapses

The addiction to reading, is a combination of sensibility and feelings, and we all have that too, it’s just that we let life get in the way, that it’d become too suppressed already.

Loving to addiction, it’s become nature, but one isn’t at all aware, it’s just that……it’s in the right amounts, and how can we use it regularly?

The three kinds of addiction, they’d all gotten me in a daze, and I’d longed for it, blindly; just wanted to find the answers, in the old verses, and to get involved, in the world turning adventures of the unknown universe.

To sum it all up, I’d done things, within my area of expertise, in writing, and in literature, books

And this, is how addicted the person is, to reading, and in this day and age, it is, quite rare, after all, when had you last, picked up a book, and read it, from start to finish? You know, the kind of books that keeps you captivated, and makes you want to know what happens next, which drives you to want to read through the nights, to finish the book?

The “species” called books will eventually become altogether a thing of the past, because, everything’s gone hi-tech these days, you have your Kindle, I-Pad readers and what-not, and, lugging around that heavy more than five-hundred pages hardcover college textbook, well, it’s NOT only unhealthy for your shoulders and backs, it’s also pointless, after all, them college professors NEVER teach out of those.

And so, because the need for books had declined, and, when the need declines, the supplies will eventually cease, because that, is still the BASIC law of economic, remember that “lecture” on Supply & Demand?

So, by the end of the next fifty years, I’m thinking, there will be NO more books for your children to have, and, you will find your two or three year-olds, using those I-Pad, Kindle or whatever ELSE hi-tech SHITS better than you can, and, that also brings an end to your “regular” Bedtime Story Sessions, and I’d already DISCUSSED the purpose of these, and, without these, your children will NEVER be properly socialized, save when they “log on” to the computer, and start web-surfing for P-O-R-N, and the thing is that they won’t even HAVE to look so hard, imagine that, how would you react if you see your three-year-old little girls, getting HUMPED by their little five-year-old boy playmates, oh I know: let me show you kids H-O-W it’s done, doggy style, man on top, woman supine, woman on top, man supine, and, I will also be teaching you the 69 too (and yeah, still know what ALL those A-R-E, and, ain’t NEVER done THAT, don’t plan to either, so, BACK O-F-F!!!).

Welcome, to the land of the M-U-T-E, and this, is where the world is “going” next. Think about it, with the “sprouting up” of ALL those emoticons, and what-nots, soon, there won’t be a NEED for ANY verbal messages, because we can give each other “kudos” and smiley faces, and devil faces and angel faces online.

A world without words, we won’t be able to communicate verbally, but, because more than 70% of communication is “done” nonverbally, we don’t actually lose anything here.

A world without words, a world of I LLITERACY, and, so, in the next twenty to thirty years, guess what the schools will be teaching the children, NOT their ABCs or ALPHABETS, I’m afraid, but how to make that smiley face or angry face or frown with their personalized computer screens, and, we would eventually become regressed, back into the caveman days, where we communicate, record down OUR own histories by making those PRI MITI VE drawings on the W-A-L-L-S here, are you freakin’ kidding me?

And, the internet exacerbates (look THAT word UP!!!) this “ condition” of the 21st Century I LLITERACY too, because we use a LOT of acronyms like C/O, (care of???), LOL (laugh out loud), etc., etc., etc., and, language should HIT extinction by oh say??? 50 to 100 years, give or take!!!

So, here’s ONE more for the R-O-A-D: : ) is how I’m feelin’ on a daily basis, but 😦 is how I am SOMETI MES allow MYSELF to F-E-E-L, but, most of the times, I’m still quite : ) here, okay???

This, is more than just that ONE step back, it’s, god KNOWS how many steps backwards that we’re taking here…

Pictures, instead of words, because pictures are easier to “process”, after all, pictures only needed to be “registered” through the visual cortex, then, we can make sense of it, while words? Words take a longer passageway, after all, you don’t JUST read those words, you must also “reroute” those words into your Wernicke’s Area (somewhere in the temporal lobe???), and then, you’d have to have the word in your medial temporal lobes, to get the meanings, IF you’d thumbedacross it, etc., etc., etc., and it’s just WAY too much trouble, compared to seeing those pictures.

Pictures, instead of words, this, is what this world’s been reduced, because NOBODY wants to sort through the letter-by-letter, to read the words that formed from the letters combined together, and then, you’d have to “file” those words into the brains to get the meanings of it, and, it will take you, say??? ‘bout five seconds to read a word (don’t really know), but, it only takes you say??? One second, to process the pictures, and, this, is still aiding, to the modern day illiteracy problems out there.

Because let’s face it, if there are words, then, you’d have to “reroute” the words, into your visual cortex (occipital lobes), then, from there, they’re sent to the Wernicke’s Area for recognition, then, to the frontal lobe for more “processing”, compared to if there are pictures, then, you just take whatever’s on the page, and, it gets into your visual cortexes, and then, outputs.

That, is why, a LOT of things are replaced by pictures, that, is why, those emoticons are so overly used, that, is also why, humans are, getting D-U-M-B-E-R by the generations, and, in a couple MORE generations on down the line (from where I am), we might as well be living inside those C-A-V-E-S that our former ancestors’ remains were found in, with those drawings on the walls, and, those scholars that came after our time will have a HELL of a time, dissecting, the “breed” of “living organisms” that we are.

And because people have less and less time, and, they have to take things in quicker, and, pictures and photographs just “register” more easily into the brain, than do words, and that, is why, I hypothesize (still NOT tested!!!) that in the future, words will slowly get taken over by icons, pictures, and, people would NO longer have the N-E-E-D to read, OR to interpret, and I’m just glad, that, that, hopefully (still keeping MY fingers crossed), won’t happen in MY lifetime, but, who knows???

This, is a world without stories, because??? Oh yeah, you STUPID (b/c that, is what you all are!!!) parents are way too busy, making your useless, pointless M-O-N-E-Y (but granted, money had become one of the MOST important necessities in our daily living, hadn’t it???), this, is a world without stories, which “aids” to the NEXT generations of ILLITERATE children, because they got NO one to read to them, they don’t even got those stupid stories on tapes as we had growing up, accompany them to dreams, so, they’d fallen asleep, in a world of silence.

This, is a world without stories, and, if the world continues to NOT read the stories to all the little children out there, well, children are going to become even D-U-M-B-E-R, more quickly, because they WILL “decline”, at the rate, too fast for any of us to calculate, and, this is still all because??? Oh yeah, parents don’t and can’t FIND enough time to spend with their young, because they’re all too focused on making ends meet, but hey, your ends are going to MEET up with you, whether or NOT you like it, but, you get to decide H-O-W you will be meeting up with those ends of yours, so, SET your priorities straight already!!!

Yes, children we had, somehow, FALLEN backwards, in time, to PREHISTORICALLY, when WRITTEN language was on ITS way, of being developed, and yet, we are all here, in the 21st, going toward the 22nd Centuries, aren’t we all??? How O-D-D is that!!!

When pictures replaced the words, it’s still DUE to how people are getting LAZIER (yeah, I’m talkin’ to Y-O-U out there!!!) by the minute, because we feel that it would be easier, for us all to process pictures, after all, a picture is worth??? Say, ‘bout OVER a thousand words these days, as opposed to the olden days of just a thousand, isn’t it?

And, unfortunately, this laziness to reading will make YOUR next generations (not mine still, b/c I ain’t GOT a “next generation” to worry about here!!!) even D-U-M-B-E-R, than your already way too DUMB (no offense, but, feel free to take!!!) generation.

Because pictures are easier to “read” (yeah right, all you need is to have E-Y-E-S to interpret the pictures) than the words, because, after your eyes “received” that stimulus of words, then, they (your eyes) reroute the words, into your BRAINS, where those words get place into the SEPARATE parts (say, the Wernicke’s Area???) then, you brain finally interprets the word, and then, send those WORDS into your minds, see how many “extra steps” there are, to reading, than to just scanning through those pictures? And, you DO get W-H-Y the younger generation read less and less, and still less, right???
